i took Hugo for his morning walk, and what did i see? people under the Williamsburg bridge, covering the fence in knitted tubes made from the prettiest yarn colors. i had to stop and ask what was happening, and after a brief, shouted convo over lots of traffic noise, this is what I learned:

the project was commissioned by NYC’s own Department of Transportation, along with the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition (nbART) and the Open Space Alliance.

there is a launch party tomorrow, aug. 31st starting at 6pm down the street at IndieScreen, 289 Kent Avenue

my spontaneous photo is pretty bad…but it gives a hint. i’m hoping to sneak over to the launch for a bit tomorrow evening. then it’s back home to cook mussels and drink wine on the roof with a few friends.

friday was such an exciting day… i got a new (to me) bike! ahhh…. the freedom to whiz around the neighborhood. what was a 15 minute walk is now a 3 minute ride. and in my new neighborhood, pretty much everything is a 15 minute walk away, so this is gonna be fab!

here’s what’s even better: the bike is a Huffy, just like the first bike i got when i was seven. it’s mustard yellow, instead of pink (good), and has some shiny upgrades in the form of a basket.

now i need a cool helmet. thinking of this, or this. oooh. actually, i think this is the winner…
